**Title: From Boy to Diva**
James had always been an adventurous child, and today was an especially important day for him. His mom, just twenty years old and navigating the complexities of single parenthood, had finally agreed to let him go out alone. She straightened his bright blue hoodie and kissed him lightly on his blond head.
"Okay, James. You be careful now, okay?"
James nodded, his green eyes full of excitement. Standing at about four feet tall and weighing roughly 50 pounds, he looked quite small yet incredibly spirited as he walked down the street, his blond hair parted neatly to the side.
He wandered around town as the day began to dim, casting long shadows on the pavement. Nightfall was approaching quicker than he had anticipated. As the world darkened, James suddenly spotted a pair of skimpy sandals, which were bright orange, left abandoned near a street corner.
"Ewwww," he wrinkled his nose in disgust. James always thought shoes like that were way too girly. Determined to avoid them, he continued cautiously, not noticing the uneven sidewalk ahead.
Suddenly, James stumbled over a crack in the pavement, and his own sneakers and socks flew off in various directions. His small feet accidentally slipped into the orange sandals, and he shrieked as he felt a tingling sensation course through his body.
"Noooo!" James screamed, instantly kicking off the sandals, but it was too late. His feet started to darken, turning a rich brown shade, and his toenails glistened with a vibrant red polish. Horrified, he yelled, "Mommy!"
He watched in shock as his legs and torso began to elongate and feminize, rapidly maturing and turning the same dark brown color. His arms and hands followed suit, his nails lengthening and bearing the same shade of red polish. As he clutched his head in dismay, his face reshaped, and his hair grew sleek and long, styled into elaborate curls as jet-black as night.
Within moments, James’s clothing morphed into an eye-catching clubbing outfit—a tight, shimmering silver dress that clung to newly-formed curves. A stylish purse materialized on his shoulder, white with gold accents, containing essentials such as a compact mirror, lipstick, and a smartphone.
Struggling to retain his identity, James’s memories began to warp and dissolve until only one remained—Candace, a 50-year-old woman from New Jersey with a sassy demeanor, standing tall at 5'9" and weighing 150 pounds. Her brown eyes gleamed with confidence.
"Damn, why am I barefoot? I finna ruin my pedicure!" Candace complained loudly, annoyed at herself for losing her sandals. She bent down, grabbing each orange sandal and slowly aligning and adjusting them meticulously onto her feet.
After standing up and adjusting her purse, she strutted confidently down the road, catching a glimpse of herself in a shop window. She paused, setting her purse down and striking various poses, puffing out her chest and making playful faces while admiring her reflection.
"Mmm, look at you, Candace! Who’s the baddest woman around?" she hyped herself up, running her hands over her curves, her waist, and down to her hips, before admiring her red nails and her perfectly pedicured feet.
Nighttime enveloped her, shadowy and intimidating. "Candace, girl," she told herself, "you a fabulous fifty, born July 5th, 1973. You from New Jersey, ain't scared of no nighttime. Look at this silver dress and them orange sandals, and these red nails, baby, you stunning!" she recited with proud sass.
Recalling her kids, she whispered, "My babies, Tyrell’s fifteen and Jasmine’s twenty-three. Jasmine always tryna steal my clothes and shoes, like these sandals... too grown for her." She shook her head, laughing to herself.
She thought of who had given her the sandals, a dear friend she loved dearly. "Damn, Lisa. Best gift ever," she whispered quietly.
Spotting her reflection again, Candace began to dance, her hips swaying rhythmically as she shook them. "Thanks to my mama for these curves!" she shouted, "And thank you, Lord! Thank you for making me a black woman from New Jersey!" Her voice cracked with emotion as she thought of her late mother, a famous singer.
Candace reached into her purse, pulling out a pair of earrings and a bracelet, adding them to her outfit before retrieving a pack of gum for a reason she couldn’t immediately recall. As she glanced around, she heard a noise, clutching her purse tightly against her chest, her heart racing.
"Hell nah! What’s that? Finna mess with me? Ain’t no coward tryna pick on a black woman from New Jersey!" Her voice grew louder. "What kinda nigga would mess with a sista like me?" she asked defiantly. "I once had to fend off a dude who thought he could screw me over, but that only happens in New Jersey. I ain't scared of nothing!"
Her courage restored, Candace strutted confidently down the street, fully engrossed in her new identity with no memory of young James.
